How many of us real traditional gardeners are left?
You know the ones that save seeds at the end of every summer and
religiously sow them at the begining of the next year and on through to
spring.
The ones that dig over their vegetable patch every year.
Yes and those that spread that heavily scented (or stink as my dear
wife calls it) compost on their veg patch every autumn.
And those of us that still grow rhubarb, gooseberries and all manner of
soft fruits.
Those that actually use their greenhouse as a greenhouse. All those
lovely fuchsias, stopped and mollycoddled, to create a perfect plant.
And rows and rows of fuchsia cuttings rooting in a mixture of peat and
sand.
And yes I will be out there Christmas day, rain, sun, snow or whatever,
sowing my broad beans.
Who else will???
All the best

Me Me Me!!! I picked the last of my peppers yesterday. About 5 pounds
worth. The peas in the greenhouse are flowering and the lettuce and
tomatoes are doing great. I have a tomato plant from over a year ago.
Can't say enough about sugary tomatoes. I had to put up an electric
fence this year to keep the deer out and I guess I will have to put
one up around my rose garden this year. I have tried everything but if
you have any ideas I am open!!
